Pros

PTO is good for full time employees.

Cons

Etics are questinable. Managers speak like politician's. You are expected to know how the manager would handle an account, when management changes their mind daily. You must find a way to ship product regardless of the customers creditworthiness. Thus credit lines are increased for no reason other than to ship. Meanwhile management expects all accounts to be collected AT or BEFORE terms. Ship everything And have a percent current over 93%. Goals are unachievable, work load is beyond 40 hrs /week, but management does not allow overtime. At best Management is either clueless or simply inept. Income smoothing is a normal process. Management thrives on double talk and playing the hero to the GMs. They will tell you to delay shipping, knowing that Everything will ship at 5 and if sales calls they will ship the product. The lack of ability to hold a customer accountable has gone far that i have sales reps stating to hold a customer and we ship. You are a number. Corp does not care about the individual, we have a blizzard, 20 inches, and the company will not close. No holiday parties. No team events. Temps are training temps. Temps will not be hired full time for at least 12 months, I've seen longer.

Thanks for taking some time to share your thoughts - we appreciate you reflecting on your time at Arrow. It sounds like you're concerned about the ethics as they relate to your day-to-day job and how it performed. Please know you are also welcome to escalate to the HR Solutions if you ever feel as if you have been retaliated against for taking corrective actions.

Pros

The gym is pretty nice.

Cons

If you want to bury yourself in a graveyard full of dinosaurs whose only focus is self-preservation in a political game that has no bearing on the real world, Arrow is your place to be. For legitimate, fulfilling work where your efforts matter, look elsewhere.
